目的：记录烟草业如何利用华尔街分析师来推进其公共政策目标。方法：检索互联网上可获得的烟草文件、报纸文章和公开听证会记录。结果：烟草业使用名义上独立的华尔街分析师作为第三方来支持烟草业在美国国家和州一级的立法议程。例如，烟草业在至少一名分析师向美国参议院司法委员会作证之前，编辑了他的证词，同时自称独立于烟草业。结论：烟草业利用与华尔街分析师的未公开合作，正如他们利用与研究科学家和学者的未公开关系，来促进烟草业在公共政策中的利益。
Objective: To document how the tobacco industry has used Wall Street analysts to further its public policy objectives.Methods: Searching tobacco documents available on the internet, newspaper articles, and transcripts of public hearings.Results: The tobacco industry used nominally independent Wall Street analysts as third parties to support the tobacco industry's legislative agenda at both national and state levels in the USA. The tobacco industry has, for example, edited the testimony of at least one analyst before he testified to the US Senate Judiciary Committee, while representing himself as independent of the industry.Conclusion: The tobacco industry has used undisclosed collaboration with Wall Street analysts, as they have used undisclosed relationships with research scientists and academics, to advance the interests of the tobacco industry in public policy.
